Synopsis

This investigation explores the origins and consequences of the EHPAD crisis, from France to Spain, via the UK and Germany. Individual stories highlight the financial exploitation, lack of regulation and devastating consequences for the elderly and their families. As a counterpoint, the Scandinavian model offers a glimmer of hope, illustrating a more humanistic and sustainable approach. The film encourages us to rethink our relationship with old age, and suggests ways of building a more respectful and supportive future for the elderly.
